That would be a mistake if Calgary staff are like those in HRM, who are known for vastly exaggerating the facts to suit whatever agenda they wish to push forward.

I think with urban gardens you have to look at the greater 'whole' of the cumulative affect, not just the individual plots. So I would agree with you if there was 1 or 2 plots here and there; but if you get a whole bunch all over the urban area then definitely I think it can have an impact.
Calgary's Urban Gardens that I mentioned on Barclay Mall.

The article referenced states that the harvest was largely symbolic and made no real difference. So it is just another left-wing feel-good effort that leads to no actual progress, but makes the champagne socialists feel a bit better as they drive away in their BMWs.
